used storm in mvc2, switched to mag in mvc3 because i didnt know the engine. now that i know it i’m back to storm and just replaced her with mag on my A team (storm/wolverine/sent)
but this team doesnt feel right. the team i use storm with the most is chris/storm/???. ive tried pretty much every character in the game on that third slot, but none of them are really endearing. tron really helps with both chris and storm, but as an anchor she’s not that great, and i dont know if you can dhc trick with her because i suck with tron. the next logical choice i usually pick is sent because of drones, but i dont really like the feel of that team either. it’s like i need a tron-ish assist to give storm and chris space, but not tron
should i just learn tron? i might as well just call her out untill she dies as an assist so i can get lvl3 xfactor storm if it comes to that, but i dont know
on any team other than a phoenix team, the main objective is to keep all ur characters alive and intact. If u can keep this and mind, I don’t see why u cant put tron as ur 3rd character. The goal is to never rely on ur anchor to win the match and pull some amazing 3 on 1 or 2 on 1 come back with x-factor
Its a blessing to have certain characters that can perform miracles as anchors (spencer, taskmaster, wesker etc) but its not necessarily the mentality that u should be approaching this game with. If u can effectively play ur team in a way where every character complements the next, there’s no reason why ur gameplan should rely on the crutch of x-factor lvl 3 comeback. Storm teams are extremely versatile because of the ability to dhc safely into eachother so meter management is one the most important elements of this game.
Ultimately u would want to build a team where every character brings something valuable to the table: The point character – usually the battery, relatively mobile, capable of killing 2 characters at once if u happen to be in the situation. The 2nd character – safe dhc tag, the main killer in the team. Anchor – great assist character, dhc safe with 2nd character.
I could be wrong, but I am under the impression that keeping a team alive is one of the earliest fundamentals of mvc2. I’d like to see more people practice doing that in marvel 3
Ive been running Skrull/Storm/Anchor for a few weeks now and here are a few notes:
I like Skrull/Storm(whirlwind)/Anchor. I can build meter with Skrull and DHC to HailStorm for a safe switch when I need to give Kl’rt a chance to rest. Also Whirlwind assist is great with Meteor Smash and Air Dash :d::h:, you’ll be surprised how much it hits due to the amount of push Whirlwind gives you.
The DHC you should be looking for is E.Rage DHC Inferno, its not one of the Reset Glitches but it puts them into Air Recovery so this will set you up for all of Kl’rts midscreen Elastic Slam resets and in the corner you get his Air Throw resets which lead to absurd amounts of damage and more resets. If you dont know these options yet check out the Skrull thread. Look at Vidness’s Stone Smite combos. they work after corner throws and they are sweeet.
Your right about there anti-Jean capability. One of the only Dark Phoenix killing methods that work for me (lucky swing is not a method) is to DHC into HailStorm off of something that is fast, invicible start up, and looks totally punishable to the DPx player.
With Skrull and Storm you can do this with Skrull Torch DHC Hail Storm.
Skrull and Storm are both chip monsters, greet your opp on arrival with an X-Factor Inferno DHC Hail Storm.
IzzyInfamous: There are countless ways to play marvel, but I dont believe that Skrull’s assist are reliable enuf to do what your going to want them to do. You might want to consider and anchor like Tron(Gustav), it wont lock your opps as long as Tenderizer, but Skrull will likely get hit out of, or whiff his tenderizer.
Thanks for the tips, yet again sir! I am thinking about running a different battery when fighting a Phoenix team though, as I feel like Storm anchor might be better for Dark Phoenix if it comes to that. If you can run away from her X-Factor and you have a few bars, there is little she can do about Storm’s chip, x-factor or otherwise. Doing it this way though will leave me with little to work with in the way of assists, however. It’s just kinda tough to plan.
If Phoenix is ignorantly trying to abuse sj.H TK Shots, Skrull can kill her. Easily. This means she has to work.
Can anyone offer me some insight into Storm and Ammy’s synergy.
Im running Wesk(Sam. Edge)/Ammy(Cold Star)/Storm(Whirlwind)
But I still have less than 100 matches with Ammy at this point (and like 5000+ with Storm)
I know that if I run the team long enough I will discover this stuff on my own, but seeing that there are at least a few of you guys that are using Storm and Ammy, Im curious to know what you guys have to say.
Zero/Doom win alone. IDK how Zero/Storm click but of course their DHCs are excellent, IDK if Storm’s assist can help Zero.
I personally dont like having Storm on point, so I would prob run Zero/Storm/Doom(Plasma), and fish for a Aerial Exchange or something to setup the DHC reset glitch, or bring Storm out by doing a simple Zero BNB Ground Pound DHC Hail Storm. But thats just me.
Been trying to run a Chris / Storm / X team for a while. I’ve come to the conclusion that Tron just isn’t an optimal assist anchor for them. Any ideas?
Greets all been lurking for a bit but finally decided to jump in. With the formalities over…
Got two teams so far
Storm/Task/Phoenix - Task does most of the work, but I’ll switch to Storm when I get bored of him. Phoenix is there as a last ditch effort (which normally doesn’t do me any good)
Storm/Task/Thor - Yes, Thor is slow, but I feel like I should use him since he’s the only character I managed to complete mission mode. Task is Task. Storm is there mostly to assist Thor getting in (whirlwind), but also, if things get boring with Task.
Ok, so I’m not that great of a player and the majority of my character selection is based on how far I got in mission mode. I hardly EVER actually use assists (too busy trying not to drop combos) and when I do they either don’t come out in time to do anything or just get stuffed.
So I’ve come here for suggestions. I know that I want Storm on the team but the other 2 slots are mostly refillable. It’d be neat to have Thor, (just need one good combo and goodbye 65-70%) but he’s expendable as well. I’ve noticed that lot of peeps here using Sent, but …I just can’t bring myself to do it. (Sentinel and Xman on the same team??! Madness! nah , just trying to do something different.) Same goes for Wesker as well…
Storm, Task, and Thor can work but I highly recommend changing the order to Storm, Thor, Task. Task is a better anchor than Thor. Thor needs assists more than Task does too.
Im sorry but I have no idea which she-hulk hyper you are referring to. On a side note, been thinking bout trying out storm/c.viper/chun-li, I like that chun-li assist but shit scales damage something ridiculous.
It wont work, she-hulks AA super takes too long to recover to take advantage of the dhc glitch. Only way shulk can take advantage of it is by whiffing her level 3, but that is such a waste of meter I don’t even know where to start.
